Bear is an adorable 2-year old male Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 25, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Robinson Hill Road in the Marietta Ohio area (near Warren). Bear was wearing a collar with his name on the collar but, unfortunately, neither his owner's name nor phone number were on his collar ... And he was not microchipped.
Bear had an injury to his right ear when he was found and had been bleeding profusely from that ear when he entered our shelter. Thanks to the Good Samaritan and our HSOV staff who quickly had the bleeding under control and stabilized his condition.
Bear was taken to one of our compassionate local veterinarians where he spent a couple of nights in their clinic. Bear's ear has been sutured, and he was also neutered while under anesthesia. He has returned to our shelter and is wearing a stylish 'head wrap' bandage instead of a 'cone' which should be more comfortable (and keep him from scratching at his stitches).
This sweet boy has a black wiry-haired coat with a teeny splash of white on his chest, a long tail, and a beautiful face with dark brown eyes, cute scruffy whiskers, a dusting of white on his chin, and large floppy ears.
Bear has a lovable, affectionate personality and is a pushover for attention.
Bear has a slim, trim physique and currently weighs 60.4 lbs
Since we weren't able to decide upon Bear's breed, he is being listed as a Terrier mix. When you see him in person, there are some individuals who see Standard/Giant Schnauzer in his facial appearance .. And (with a little imagination) Bear also has the characteristics of an Irish Wolfhound though he is much smaller than that breed.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bear was posted on social media the day he arrived at HSOV, and he was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, nobody called or came look for this magnificent boy.
